On behalf of the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District I would like to provide some updates regarding this project and upcoming events. The planning team, project partners and trails committee have taken public comments regarding Estes Valley trail connections (including bicycle and pedestrian facilities) and mapped them, while also evaluating feasibility and new opportunities. The next step will be to present this map to the community and to hear feedback regarding the draft trails map.

1. 1. PUBLIC MEETING #2: The next public meeting will be held February 18, 2016 at the Estes Park Town Hall from 4-7pm. This meeting will be an open house that will give the community an opportunity to review the proposed connections.

2. PROJECT WEBSITE- EstesValleyTrails.com: Many of you have visited the project website and/or have provided input on the plan via the website survey #1. We now have a new survey! Please take a few minutes to respond to the second survey. We will be using this information to help us understand more of what you want from your local trails and facilities. Also, project information, public meeting #1 presentation and project flyers can all be found on this site. (direct link to survey)

3. SPREAD THE WORD: Please forward this email to others who may be interested in attending the next public meeting and/or providing comments via the project website: www.EstesValleyTrails.com. Your feedback makes a difference and will influence the future of your community.

Thank you for your continued participation in this effort and happy holidays to you all.
